Conflict and Democracy in South Asia

The Asia Programme holds workshops and conducts research on a range of issues relating to conflict and democracy within South Asia. Forthcoming reports will assess the issue of Islamic radicalisation in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Political instability in Pakistan, and the policies of the West towards Pakistan, remains a key research interest for the Asia Programme.

The Maoist rebellion, and subsequent electoral success, in Nepal has been a focus of research as has the aftermath of the civil war and the challenges of reconciliation in Sri Lanka. Both states highlight that it is not simply Islamist forces that threaten stability within South Asia.
